Pop Life: art in a material world

Tate Modern, Damien Hirst

An exhibition at Tate Modern recreated Damien Hirst’s performance shown at Cologne’s Unfair art fair in 1992. Identical twins sat beneath Hirsts’ spot paintings for the duration of Pop Life: Art in a Material World exhibition.

My twin sister and I became part of this live exhibit which involved sitting for hour-long sessions. A mesmerising experience and an opportunity to meet over 60 pairs of identical twins from all over the UK.
